Personal Log

Interesting day up on the bridge. Starfleet command has ordered us to the Lappa system, where we are to rendevous with the Ferengi, and turn the Teelamy Cerms back over to them. I feel like we're missing something important but unless we come up with something, we'll be forced to do as we've been ordered.

In all my travels, I've never had to deal with a Ferengi, so this will be really interesting. I've heard the stories of course. Last night I took the time to read about Captain Picards encounter with the Ferengi while he was in command of the Stargazer. The Ferengi refer to it as the Battle of Maxia, and it is required reading at the Academy.

The science department is running pretty well right now. At our science department meeting last night, I told Dawson and Collins that I'd ask the science officer of the Bradbury if we could collect information about the Himiko Cloud using their sensor array. I'd love to stay and analyze it ourselves, but with the trip we're taking to the Lappa system, it won't be possible.
